As usual I am behind, posting my photos on our outings and walks in various parks, my neighborhood and my back yard birdwatching. These are all from November and some December photos.
1. Nov 1st, this mosaic and the next one are from our walk at the local Leister Park in Hampstead Md. They have a nice walking trail and I can usually find some birds. Below are images of the trail, a flock of blackbirds, a Squirrel and a unknown Hawk, we met and passed by a women and her three Corgis on their walk and there were some beautiful Autumn colors.
2. Also off the trail we saw a flock of Cedar Waxwings eating berries.
3. On the way home from the park above, I was driving down our street and saw this Bald Eagle on the ground eating something unknown.
4. Nov 3rd, we have many options for our walks around the Prettyboy watershed, this is one of our favorites. We saw a flock of Dark-eyed Juncos eating off the ground and a Turkey Vulture in flight and bottom left are the neighbors turkeys that she raises to sell for Thanksgiving.
5. Nov 5, Our walk on the NCR rail trail in Parkton, we saw a Great Blue Heron, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Carolina Chickadee, male Downy Woodpecker and a White-breasted Nuthatch.
6. Nov 7th, we drove a little further away for our walk at the Conowingo Dam and Susquehanna River. We wanted to see if the Bald Eagles arrived. We only saw a few Eagles both juvenile and adult Bald Eagles. There were plenty of Black Vultures, Cormorants and a Great Blue Heron and we saw a deer off the river trail below the dam.
7. Another walk on our local Prettyboy fire road, I saw lots of berries and a cute bunny.
8. Another fire road walk to the front section of the Prettyboy reservoir, we saw a group of Canada Geese and we saw that the female Hooded Mergansers have arrived for the winter.
9. Dec 7, I looked out my kitchen door and noticed our missing Peacock was back on our deck. He gobbled up some of the peanut suet nuggets that I feed my birds.
10. Bonus: Nov 10th, our granddaughter Sophie was baptized.
